As far as I understand it's as a result of making it easier for new members to register, say with a g-mail address instead of a proper e-mail account. Spam bots take advantage of this hence the spam.
If you tighten up the registration process then the new guys are complaining about not being able to register.
Current rides:

VW Golf - 83 GT 2.1 16V 2-door with throttles
VW Golf - 78 LS 2.0 8V 4-door (2.1 ABF with throttles in progress)
VW Golf - '08 Citi Storm - 1.4 for now
Hyundai - 1.4 Getz (daily)

Absolutely correct. It's also due to the high volume of traffic we get. You'd be surprised with our volumes

Spammers/spambots manage to find their way around it, at one stage we had a unique question and a Captcha image to try clamp down on spambots. What is being used on the forum now?

User registration and admin approval.

With over 100 000 unique visitors a month we do miss a few spammers.

Aaah, the admin approval is generally a good one but time consuming. Do new users have to be approved before they post or are their first posts approved?
